President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

    1. I don’t care.

    2. What?

    All I want is a functional adult in the White House.

    You have one. Hence the U.S. economy getting back on track, inflation dropping, unemployment low, fuel costs low and infrastructure finally getting rebuilt. Plus much cheaper insulin for seniors.

    Ohhhhh! Wait, what you meant is that all you want is someone to do exactly what you want them to do. My mistake.

      It’s nearly impossible to argue with manufactured outrage. They don’t want a logical debate. There will be no logic in their argument. Your stance can come from a place of reason, and humanity- and they’ll still shit all over it because it’s what’s cool to do now.

              Because he’s the president who’s trying to convince us that everything is fine?

              A strong economy means companies are doing well, when companies are doing well, the average worker isn’t being paid enough.

                Because he’s the president who’s trying to convince us that everything is fine?

                When has he done that?

                A strong economy means companies are doing well, when companies are doing well, the average worker isn’t being paid enough.

                Again, what can he do about this?

                He put forward a bill that ended up creating and will create a lot of jobs. He can’t control what people are paid in those jobs and he also cannot control rent and housing prices.

                You seem to be forgetting that this was about someone claiming they wanted a “functional adult” in the White House, followed by me pointing out a lot of things he’d accomplished and ‘functional’ does not mean ‘does everything you want.’

                And you basically chime in complaining that he isn’t doing everything you want.

      Woohoo I am glad we care more about money instead of the fact that we are supporting the killing of innocent children.

      Thank god that almighty dollar is there, it is so much more important than human life!

        Yes, believe it or not, being able to pay the bills and feed my family is of a higher priority to me. And while we’re at things I can see Trump doing, I’d prefer not to have my queer daughter put in a “conversion therapy” camp.

          Ah I see.

          To me peoples lives are more important than a conversion camp.

          Here’s a secret to life, as long as someone is still alive, we can work on helping them.

          Once they’re dead though, completely different.

              You can’t see the difference there, really?

              I think you may be being a little shady here, friend, just a little bit deceptive, because I don’t believe that you were stupid enough to not see the difference between supporting the actual physical life of someone and not getting everything you fucking want?

              Are you going to be the one putting your daughter in the conversion camp?

              No?

              Yeah, that’s how the actual conversion camps?

              So you’re deliberately trying to make a false equivalence here?

              Now you could tell me to worry about other peoples children, but that doesn’t give you the personal grab and shield did it being your own daughter does, does it?

              So surely you’re not using loaded language here?

              Look at the straight facts, your boy is supporting and directly enabling the killing of 10,000 innocent children.

              Ones who will never even get the chance to grow.

              That is what you support, you can hide from that fact all you want.

              Fuck Trump and Fuck Biden.

              They can both die today and we could have 2 more public fucking toilets.

              As long as you people keep fucking supporting them no matter what then they will never change.

              You people are just as bad as the motherfuckers that have to carry a pistol just to walk to their cars.

              You all are letting fear ruin your ability to have anything fucking better.

              You are holding the rest of us back with you.

              Do you know how many stupid motherfuckers I hear voting for bad people just to “ be moderate” but really they wish they could have insert actual good choice here?

              If even half of them would vote for the “not safe” candidate then they would win by a landslide.

              Instead people who like the motherfucking status quo hide behind the “safe choice” just so that they can pretend that they are fine with children dying as long as it is far away from them.

              Try thinking about something or someone that doesn’t directly affect or connect to you.

              “Fuck You, I Got Mine!”, where oh where have I seen that attitude before?

              But yeah, I’m glad you can ignore it just because you aren’t affected by it.

                That’s a lot of words to tell me that I should, in fact, care about other people more than my daughter.

                I sincerely hope you don’t have children.

                  Here, let me shorten it.

                  Yes, there are times that you should, in fact, care about other people more than your daughter.

                  I care more about other people when they’re hungry, than my child getting an ice cream.

                  I have taken the money that I was going to use to get there an ice cream to give to someone that was homeless.

                  It’s almost like we as adults can understand it worse, things can be happening to someone else that we should divert some type of resource away from ourselves in our families to stop the other thing.

                  Here’s an easier example, there are people all over America that take money that could be used on their children’s toys during Christmas time,and instead donate that money, so that other children can have things.

                    No. No there absolutely are not. And if you think that and you are a parent, you should absolutely have CPS called on you.

                    Your examples have nothing to do with a child’s welfare, which is obviously what we are talking about here.

                    And my daughter’s welfare, based on what TRUMP HAS ALREADY DONE is at stake here.

                    You just don’t give a shit because you don’t care about queer people.

        This is probably a foreign concept, but it’s important to understand in case you’re ever in a plane crash. When the oxygen masks come down, you put your oxygen mask on first. Then you help others.

        You’re welcome, if you’re ever in a plane crash I just saved your life and the people around you. And yes you are welcome because you clearly did not understand the concept based on the comment I’m replying to.

          So in this analogy, the ‘people in the plane around you’ are actually the Palestinian civilialians that we are genociding? And you think it is fine to financially and rhetorically support an ongoing genocide as long as domestic issues are being taken care of?

          This seems to be the opposite of the “we can walk and chew gum at the same time” type of rhetoric we hear often from the Democrats.

        Human life is supported by the almighty dollar. Like it or not, that’s how it is. I have to feed my children, don’t I? And Biden did the best he could to get the economy back on track. He succeeded. But by all means, let’s not give him any credit because he is not perfect.

            False equivalence they aren’t both ending in death.

            With a proper support system, your daughter will be fine no matter what the outside world is like

                So what is the exchange rate between “potential things that trump might do” and actual physical deaths that Biden has supported.

                How many deaths does it take to change your mind?

                How many of other people’s children are you willing to sacrifice to keep biden in the White House?

                  How many deaths did Trump cause 2016-2020? Care to count them? It’s not about what Trump might do. It’s about what he’s done and has promised that he will do.

                  Dictator for a day.

                    Play the same game with Biden and trump.

                    That is how it should be, just because one does something doesn’t mean you forgive the other if they do it just because they are on the same side as you.

                    Fuck them both. Trump killed people through not acting with Covid.

                    Trump is a complete and total piece of shit just like fucking Biden.

                    I do not give a shit how good you made the fucking economy or whatever.

                    You are still giving bombs to people to kill children with.
